Greek Ziti
Feel free to use Ziti or Penne pasta, it is the same, one is square cut and one is cut at angles. This sounds like a really good meal.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 250 grams pasta, Ziti, Penne, or any bite size pasta
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3/4 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, simmer the chicken broth and the oregano until about 1/2 cup of liquid remains in the pan, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken cubes, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat. Let the chicken steam in the hot broth until just done, about 8 minutes.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss it with the chicken mixture, the feta, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Toss in the cherry tomatoes. Serve.
Notes
I bought chicken breast just 3 days ago, chicken breasts, 3 were 65 Baht. For 4 servings, even with the cheese, this is under $1 per serving.
